Academic Support

Tutoring

Tutoring is available free of charge from a number of sources. If you think you might need tutoring help, don’t worry! Many of our students find they need to work with a tutor at some point during their academic career. It is important to seek academic assistance early if you feel that you need it.

Student Learning Center | César E. Chávez Student CenterTaking an Education 98/198 SLC Study Strategies course is a fantastic way to build transformative learning strategies over a 15-week semester alongside other scholars who are looking to enhance their learning processes for academic success. The courses explore ways to build academic engagement and intellectual curiosity given both the amazing opportunities and challenges at a research university.

Private Tutoring Students in CS 370 offer free private tutoring for students enrolled in CS 61A, CS 61B, CS 70 and CS c88 on a first-come first-served basis. Sign-up information is posted each week on the respective course's piazza page.

Additionally, the EECS Department maintains a roster of private tutors. Should you find the resources listed above insufficient, please use your berkeley.edu account to access this roster. The department's role is simply to facilitate an introduction between tutors/tutees; we have not vetted or trained these tutors beyond checking that the student has passed the indicated courses with a grade 'B' or higher. Feel free to ask the tutor some questions to determine whether they are a good fit for you!

This new project is aimed at helping students learn from failure and instilling a sense of hope, belonging, and bravery. Our goal is to help change the perception of failure from something to be avoided at all costs to something that has meaning, purpose, and value.
